#19 Claudio Ricci – Playing the long game: Inside the Mind of a True Underground Storyteller

In this episode, host Richard Q sits down with Claudio Ricci for a deep, unfiltered conversation about consistency, integrity, and the long road through electronic music. From growing up in Vienna with Chilean roots shaped by political exile and folklore, to discovering rave culture in the late ’90s,Claudio reflects on how discipline, empathy, and patience became the foundations of his approach to DJing and production.The conversation moves through vinyl culture, early self-promoted parties, Ibiza’s dual realities, and the hard lessons of starting again from zero after years of success. Claudio shares his philosophy on DJing as storytelling, resisting genre boxes, and navigating an industry increasingly driven byvisibility, trends, and short-term thinking.Instagram:@[email protected]://soundcloud.com/claudioricci
